Alex and I ate at this amazing Indian Restaurant that Jody and I had been too. The food is worth the 2 hour drive. It was perfect to carb load for the race the next day. Funny story, Alex booked the same hotel Jody and I had stayed at for our last race. It was just funny how alike Alex and I think. The morning of the race was smokey and windy. It started late too so it got pretty hot. I ended up not using music as Alex plowed up the hill. He beat me by 6 minutes and got 2nd for his age group. I was very happy with my time 2 hours 41 minutes. I was hoping for 3 hours. I took 4th AGAIN for my age group. I was a little disappointed with that, but honestly after 3 weekends of racing I was very happy that God gave me the strength to do as well as I did. It is always so fun to be with Alex and even the 5 hours of traffic on the way home was bearable because we get along so swimmingly.
